I have been using this options in all my kernels since 5.4+

Before i show you the machine information, is not a bad computer.

I bacula has some hacks that maybe can help me with this failure, i will do
today a lot of test and see how the systems response, i have here 2 nic to
test.

This is my next steps:

NOTE: I dont have any firewalll enable on this server.
1; Change the cable

2; Run i full backup and see what happend, if the problem appear change NIC
and try again.

3; What else to do...? what can i disable..?

I will let you now the results, see you people.
